Anti-Social Butterfly
A social butterfly she is not
Its certainly not you incase that's what you thought
The stress wheel is constantly turning
For inner peace her mind's constantly yearning
Restless are thoughts that don't slow down
She burns midnight oil on outskirts of the busy town
Prefers to stay off the grid, far out of the action
Mind seeks silent solitude to reach satisfaction
Body seeks the comfort of human interaction
Still, weary mind shys away seeking alternative distraction
For not enough souls are filled with understanding compassion
Kindness seems to be for some out of fashion
Goes from overwhelmed and restless to feeling real low
Feels like pity party train is better off riding solo
Through her veins old skeletons and demons persist to flow
Reminds herself frequently to breath in and out slow
She won't come out and tell you of all of her pain
Will try and cheer you up when you're caught in the rain
Forgive her as she'll often isolate from connections, back to her cocoon will try to refrain
For the feelings she struggles with take their toll and life they do drain
